Selling Your Georgia Home in a Divorce

A Clear Plan for a Clean Break
By Georgia brokers Ron & Addison Corbin · The Corbin Real Estate Team

Take the chaos out of a high-stakes decision

Divorce is hard enough without adding confusion, mistrust, or guesswork around the house. This guide gives both parties a shared roadmap for handling the home in a way that’s fair, transparent, and as low-stress as possible—while still protecting your equity and your future.

Instead of “he said / she said” and vague advice, you’ll see step-by-step what needs to happen, who does what, and where your attorney and real estate broker fit into the picture.

Inside this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Decide whether to sell, refinance, or buy one party out—realistically.
  • Understand how equity, payoff amounts, and closing costs actually work.
  • Set ground rules for communication, showings, and decisions.
  • Choose a neutral, professional agent both parties can trust.
  • Coordinate your sale timeline with attorneys, agreements, and court dates.
  • Protect your privacy and safety when the home is on the market.

  • Need to understand your options before signing any agreement about the house.
